Have you tried vesa mode ? It will be slow, but it might work. I have an LTE 5280, with a CL GD7543 chip, which is totally unsupported in X 4.x, which works with vesa. It worked better with X 3.3.6, where the chip was supported directly. You might want to try to download X (the xfree86-common and xfree86-svga) packages from potato, which were (IIRC) 3.3.6. They should work (they work fine on my LTE 5280, which is more or less current unstable for the rest). I'm attaching both my 3.3.6 XF86Config and my 4.3 vesa XF86Config-4 Frank > > > Thanks in advance for any information, > Ian > > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
